Racial Limitations for Us

[Reakk]

Now while it is not a huge problem for me, I refuse to play elves in anythingm and in my opinion the whole concept of an MMORPG is to play something your not (ie human),

SO WHY IS IT THAT I AM FORCED (so far) TO PLAY ONE OF DEM POINTY EARED BASTARDS A GNOME (Gnomish Inquisitor????, sorry, that makes no sense to me), or what I am, a hooman..


I am so sick and tired or all the good classes being either good style or bad style, or restricted to a certain amount of races.

I would like to see all character classes open to all races (a la FFXI) where you could play all races, and if you had a Galka WHM, but you were competant you could still make your way quite successfully as a healel.

Flame away, but I still think FFXI is one of the best MMORPG's, for teaching what the big three (tank,healer,DD) are for, and while simplistic, was much better than anything I've tried lately.

(And yes, my WoW guild is atm working on Naxx, and yes, I was off tank of choice for the General in UBRS, and I have tanked Scholo as a pali (great challenge and really fun, especially in blues [not epicish atall])

Anyways, I'm hoping to be a Raki Inquisitor, but if I cant then I shall look at mu other options as a Raki, and if none of them appeal to me then, as in WoW, I must choose something else..

Hope to see y'all in game, look for Reakk (last name tbd), hopefully Raki Inquisitor or Shkaira, Raki Disciple.

I can understand there being class limitations based on race, especially if a lore is developed which precludes that. Don't know exactly about racial bonuses but I would hope that they are only minor and don't affect endgame reality at all.

I believe racial stat modifiers will have an effect on the endgame. If I read correctly, the racial modifiers will not simply be an initial bonus to a particular modifer, but rather a modified maximum value. Such that a race with somewhat lesser strength at first level will never be able to achieve the strength of a race which started out higher. There is a possibility I misunderstood the statement of course, so try not to worry too much. At least race selection at creation will actually have meaning. I remember race selection in EQ became irrelevant right about level twenty.
